Gorgeous pooch! Looks more pure then a few of mine!
Princess Weasel is often mistaken for having Mal blood. We laugh, depending on if she in coat, they have been days that she looks more mal like then most of the mals!
As she's gotten older, I've been amazed by her ability to focus and learn new things, as well as how gentle she is with kids and family. We've gotten pretty attached to her.
Your dog has some really nice markings. Is that considered a "brindle" pattern?
Mine?
No, although it's similar. It's called sable. She is a dark sable (there are also red sables, grey/silver sables and a few other variations- some within the breed standard, and some without). Sables are funny, their color keeps changing as they get older, and usually isn't completely done until around 2 years.
She hardly had any black at all on her as a puppy.
Alyssa, you mean around the time you got her, right? They go through that really dull phase and then get darker again, Chris. I would kill for a brindle GSD! Yeah,yeah, I know. You can't buy for color! Actually I like bi-colors and blankets, too. My new female is a bi-color. I have always wanted a really dark sable, and black is my least favorite,but I have 2 black dogs and a normal sable. Ah well.
She looked almost completely black when she was born with only a little sprinkling of brown around her neck, around 6-8 weeks she was brown and silver. She only had black on her face and black toe markings.
She started to darken back up around 20 weeks or so, and has been getting darker ever since. The pic in my sig line is actually a few months old now, and she is even darker than that pic now.
Unfortunately, the darker she gets, the more the white on her chest stands out.
Sorry.... I've confused the topic by talking about my brindle dog. Brindle is stripes, and is not found in GSDs, but my dog is black where a GSD would be black and brindle where a GSD would be brown. If that makes sense.... and because of that, people assume he's a GSD mix.
I am the worst photographer of all time, but in this pic you can see the pattern I'm talking about. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=x5cms&s=5 (he is the dog in front)
